Rest in Peace King of Pop

Jun 25, 2009 23:53

  Today is a very sad day for millions upon millions of people; myself included. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died of a heart attack today. Michael Jackon was my all-time favorite artist. Ever since I was 12 years old I tried to learn his dance moves, memorize his lyrics, and give him the respect he truly deserves. I've been bawling my eyes out on and off today. A part of me is still in denial. I see pictures of him & I think, "not the King of Pop!" I now have an idea of how people felt when Elvis Presley had died. He died suddenly as well if I recall.

Now before I go on I just want to say that Farrah Fawcett also died today. While she may not have influenced me as much as MJ had, I was still shocked when I heard about her death this morning. And right after she finally agreed to marry her partner! How heartbreaking that must be! I can't even imagine! My heart goes out to Farrah and her family. RIP Farrah. You will be missed.

Now while I am very upset over Michael's death, I am engraged over some peope's responses. Especially on Facebook. I'm not even going to go on for the next few day for I am disgusted at some people. "All of the little boys of the world are safe now. MJ is dead." "Michael Jackson is dead! LOL" "Awesome! MJ is dead!" These are just some of the statuses i've read today on Facebook. Now i'm not expecting everyone in the world to be upset about his death, but show some fucking respect!!! Seriously, his talent and inspiration brought happiness to millions of people for over two decades & all you have to say it "all the little boys are safe." People like that disgust me. Someone even said that he'd never met him in real life so why should he be upset about it. The same can be said towards his belief in an imaginary God. At least Michael Jackson is REAL.

I know that MJ wasn't all there in the head. But really can you blame him? He grew up with no childhood. The stage was literally all he knew.
I believe he is an innocent man. He loved children way too much to be able to do such a horrific thing like molestation. Now do I believe that he should be around children? God, no. He was mentally unstable. He was still such a child himself. He was mentally tortured. I feel so bad for him just thinking about it.

I was really looking forward for his new album. I wonder if they'll still release it? I would've loved to have seen him live.

Either way, as heartbroken as I am, a small part of me can rest easy knowing he isn't suffering anymore. I will still grieve in the coming days. But he will be remembered forever. Michael Jackson I love you. I love who you are. You were a beautiful person, and you gave the world one of the greatest gifts of all. I'm sure going to miss you. But please...Rest in Peace.

P.S. Don't Stop Till You Get Enough is my favorite Michael Jackson song. :)

rest, in, jackson, dead, peace, michael
